LZMAINFO

NAME

lzmainfo - show infomation stored in the .lzma file header

SYNOPSIS

lzmainfo
[--help]
[--version]
[file]...

DESCRIPTION

lzmainfo
shows information stored in the
.lzma
file header. It reads the first 13 bytes from the specified
file,
decodes the header, and prints it to standard output in human
readable format. If no
files
are given or
file
is
-,
standard input is read.

Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and
the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file is
in the non-streamed
.lzma
format variant. The amount of memory required to decompress the file is
a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictionary size.

lzmainfo
is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

EXIT STATUS

0

All is good.

1

An error occurred.

BUGS

lzmainfo
uses
MB
while the correct suffix would be
MiB
(2^20 bytes).
This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA Utils.
